We have fish in the pond for WOYWW, well kinda.

It's been a bits n pieces week

for WOYWW

as I was in an out 

of my room all week.

Here is what's on my desk right now.

Not much really.

I am almost finished a card

that I promised Neesie from Neesie Natters ages ago

when she moved back to the UK

from here in Aus.

You can just see a little bit poking out from the paper I put over it,

I have to wait until Neesie gets it before it can be shown
and then she might not let me show it 
(let's just say I had a little fun with it mwa ha ha).

I made a cute polymer clay chameleon, called Bruce.

I wish I could say I made him up but

I bought a project book and copied from there.

At the back of my desk is the photo

that I'm using to paint my fishpond for art class.

Last week it looked like this

 

Then I started the painful bit of sectioning,

drawing and then rubbing out,

 

and drawing and rubbing out,

you get the picture??

This took forever and I'm sure my teachers ears were burning.

I've always used pencil and drawn nice and neat

but this is just plain painful.

Apart from the charcoal, getting into places

where I'm sure it shouldn't get, it's really hard

  to do.  But I got there eventually.

I got to class this morning, she was happy with what I'd done

and then she said now rub it off!

I nearly died. She must have seen the look of sheer horror on my face

and then explained that she meant for me to rub it off lightly

and remove the excess charcoal (phew).

Now I'm just putting in the clear colours, loosely,

to form the shape of the fish.

Would you believe that's two hours work just there!!

Geez I'm slow!!!

It's a public holiday here next wednesday,

so no classes and only a tiny bit of homework,

so if all goes well, I might have a go at 

another inky messy canvas.

Let's hope the inky mess makes it to the canvas

and not all over me, or the floor, or the desk..!

That's my desk goings on for the week,

now why not hop on over to 

Julia's Stamping Ground and see what

has been happening on other desks 

around the world.
